Enora is waiting to see if similar magic is needed again.
Hold action until after the spider goes to see if someone else needs greased again. If not, will take some other action at that time.
Pregen - PatheticWretch |
Zadim rushes the nearest spider now that he has escaped the web.
kukri: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 cant access map if someone can pls move me.
Oykiv |
Zadim moved in the map
Zadim moves to the spider and starts cutting it in the torax. Seelah starts to surround the spider asking Merisiel to flank with her.
Enora waits to see how the spider bites Zadim -5 HP and prepares to cast a spell.
Fort DC 14 or Strengh damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2

All can act And the spider is almost dead
Seelah, Knight of the Inheritor |
Seeing that the beast is nearly defeated, Seelah forces herself to remain patient, readying an attack for when one of her allies steps into a flank with her.
Readied Attack with Longsword (flank): 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12

SInce no one is stuck in the webs, Enora takes an unlikely shot with the crossbow.

Pregen - PatheticWretch |
Zadim cries out as the spider bites him and saps his strength. Nevertheless, he responds with a devastating counterattack, cutting off one of the spider's mandibles and punching through its brain with his kukri.

Good vengance Zadim. The poison should still be in your blood, but it really don´t matter, being unlikely to have more combat in this quest
Seelah and Marisiel flank the spider, trying to pierce its quitinous armor. And a bolt flys up in the air as Zadim destroys the spider brain, which falls dead between spasm.
Harvest time
The central orb of web is a newly laid egg sack. The eggs are worthless in Daggermark, but the webbing holding the sack is covered in fresh adhesive. You may also try to collect a silk gland from a spider corpse with a successful DC 15 Heal or Survival check. Only one attempt for each corpse.
Pregen - PatheticWretch |
The wounded Zadim tries to assist with the extraction, but has no clue where their poison is located.
survival assist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Jethryk Devarre |
Right then...
Following Seelah's example, Merisiel attempts to harvest the silk gland from the other spider...
Survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19.
...and much to her surprise, manages to do a quite passable job.
"Right. Let's collect the adhesive from the egg-sack, and head back to town to off-load it."
Oykiv |
Dont worry, the site down also affected me
Between Kyra and Poog, and with a little help from Kess, you recover the adhesive from the egg web and the glands of both spiders. With your newfound "tresure" you arrive to Daggermark to sell it as only a city with a thriving trade in poison has buyers for the adhesive.
You can go directly to sell it to Vox, or try to find another buyer, if you search for another buyer:
A gnome would-be apothecary, Ezmerlilly Vanderpoof, recently failed to deliver some promised goods to the Poisoners’ Guild. She needs something to appease the guild before they decide to drastically renegotiate their contract.
Though he has a reputation for being a fierce negotiator, dwarven merchant Narngar Ninefingers has run up quite the gambling debt. Debtors tend not to last long in a city of assassins, and Narngar is growing desperate for something he can sell to important patrons to prove that he’s worth keeping around.
In either case, when you go to the merchant is possible to have a hunch about him with a DC Sense Motive check (up to three atemps per merchant. DC 17 the second and DC 19 the third).

Zadim nods.
"Perhaps we should find her quickly. This does not seem like a group to cross," he adds.

Seelah, Knight of the Inheritor |
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Seelah scowls as she looks at the poison.
"I do not approve of the use of poison to kill or injure. I would prefer it if we were to trade it to someone that would use it for research or to produce antidotes."
Oykiv |
[ooc]Seelah, you´re not selling poison, but adhesive. It don´t appease your conscience a lot, as the adhesive is used to be able to aply poison to weapons.[/oo]
You go to see Ezmerlilly Vanderpoof and offer him the adhesive. The she start asking lots of questions, as if doubting of your word:
Fresh adhesive you said, I´ll check it before believing in it. Don´t think my brain is small because I´m small, I´m smarter than you think.
And where did you find it? How long ago did you go to harvest it? How big where those spiders, I don´t want adhesive from spiders less than two feet tall, it´s almost as bad as adhesive collected from home spiders.
Jethryk Devarre |
Merisiel adopts a conciliatory tone as she tries to shill the party's mark.
"I assure you, we aren't trying to pass-off some inferior quality muck. This stuff was harvested from a spider lair over on the edge of the Shroudwood. It was collected this morning, so it is definitely fresh, and some decently-sized spiders were involved! The larger one was the size of my human friend," she says, pointing at Seelah, "and the smaller one was at least as big as you!"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17.
Oykiv |
Hmm, yes it looks good. Ok, I´ll trust you.
I can pay you good to have the advesive just now. 200 gold coins, two flasks of alchemist’s fire, three potions of cure light wounds, and..-before continue talking she checks the surroindings to see if there´s anybody spying- I can tell you were to find a magic weapon
Once the group agrees to sell her the adhesive, she continues with her confidence. A fair trade’s a fair trade. There was a half-orc blathering about some important blade or sword or something she found. Moonsilver, Sliverhex, or somesuch. Kept going on about its history to any who would listen. The merchant leans in conspiratorially. Well I have it from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, that she won’t be needin’ that sword where she’s headed. The merchant draws a hand across the neck, making an unpleasant sound. The Vessels Between will have that one soon enough. You just need to go out there and grab that sword once they’re through, and I happen to know where they found her little camp.
Quest over, now is time to rush to save Ulisha life
Oykiv |
You can find her here. Says the little gnome as she draws a map.
New quest
To know more about Daggermar assasins:
The assassins of Daggermark are more affordable than other hired killers. They refer to themselves as the Vessels Between, as they take targets from life to death.
The more one is willing to pay, the more highly trained the assassin he can hire. The guild doubles as a school for assassins in training, and even these neophytes are available for hire.
25+ Assassins sent on missions outside of the city often work in pairs so as to better protect one another.
The group rushes to save and quickly find the cave where Ulisha is supposed to be hiding. There´s no sounds of fight, so you have came before the assassins, or too late.
The hill ahead is not much to look at. It gently slopes away from the river. A shallow cave is near its top, smoke from a campfire curling upward in the gentle breeze. The grass wafts slowly along a gently curving path up the southern face of the hill, ending in a few switchbacks as the hill grows steep near the top.

"The assassins of Daggermark are more affordable than other hired killers. They refer to themselves as the Vessels Between, as they take targets from life to death."
Merisiel bounds forward, rapier and dagger drawn.
"Hello? Anyone alive in here?"
Jethryk Devarre |
Merisiel smiles and waves cheerily.
"Hello Ulisha! Well, we followed the trail of bread crumbs that you left us, and when we finished the job in Daggermark, heard that assassins had been sent after you... so we made for your location as fast as we could. The fact that we are talking suggests that we arrived first; a good thing, don't you think?"
Seelah, Knight of the Inheritor |
Diplomacy (gather information): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Seelah walks straight up to Ulisha. She kneels, placing a hand on her heart.
"Please, allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Seelah, a Knight in service to the Inheritor. I am here to protect you. Should we perhaps continue this conversation inside?"
Oykiv |
Ulisha turns to Seelah. Yes, of course, come inside the cave When you enter in the cave, you can notice is a very small place, cramped with the bare minimum necessary to survive for a few days.
She asks Merisiel to retold the story before answering her: So, someone had hired assasins to go after me? Well, of course it´s great you came before them, this way we will have the opportunity to deafeat them, will you help me? If you hide yourselves outside the cave and ambush them when he came, it will be an easy fight.
After the fight we will have time to investigate who hired them to solve the problem, or move to another country.
Ehm Sven Nien |
Is this the same day as the spider fight and conversation with the gnome? If it is, that is fine. If not, will change the enlarge person to a color spray.
.
if we see them coming, I can give those without heavy armor some additional protection. I could even make the entrance very slippery so they have a harder time getting in here. We should probably have someone farther in making noise to sound like we are not preparing an ambush. Is there anyplace inside near the entrance where we can easily hide?
.
I have a few mage armors avail from wand. Then I can use a grease on the entrance to make it harder to get in. We can missile fire until the get past it.
Pregen - PatheticWretch |
Zadim nods. "Perhaps I should find a place to hide outside, then attack then from the flank once they are otherwise engaged," he says.
stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Ehm Sven Nien |
Zadim nods. "Perhaps I should find a place to hide outside, then attack then from the flank once they are otherwise engaged," he says. ...
Always an option. Just remember, if you find yourself in trouble it will be unlikely that we can get to you in time to help. (Assuming there are multiples in the entrance between us.)
Pregen - PatheticWretch |
Good thoughts...I'll just place myself far enough away that they will be absorbed with other things by the time I attack.
Oykiv |
@Enora; Is the same day but is a different quest, so you can change whatever you wanf.
I changed the map and put Zadim hidden behind some rocks, put yourselves whetever you want
Ulisha continues talking about her plan; Of course, I must stay visible, so they could think I´m an easy prey.
We can start when everybody is ready
Ehm Sven Nien |
If possible, I'm actually off the map, further into the cave. I want to be just able to see the area immediately in front of the entrance. Since I have no skill at stealth, I want to be out of line of sight.
.
I will sit back here. Ulisha if you are talking to yourself that should make them less suspicious. It will also let you work code words into your speech without warning them.. If any of you say filthy, I will make the area immediately in front of the cave very slippery. If any of you say startling, I will move up to Ulisha and fill the area beyond her with bright flashing lights that should disorient.
.
Will tap Myself and Ulisha with the wand of mage armor before I hide in the back of the cave.
Oykiv |

"Hello! I am afraid that we can't let you assassinate Ulisha. Goodbye!"
Merisiel steps forward, and tosses a dagger at the assassin...

...hitting with pin-point accuracy!

Merisiel´s dagger hits between two ribs, affecting the brawler´s lung and almost killing him. The brawler, having problems to breath, picks a potion hoping to drink it before another dagger comes.
Ulisha states surely you don´t need it, but she starts starts reciting tales of bravery and courage to inspire you. Inspire courage +1
